Writer/Director Jalmari Helander delivered a delightfully wicked twist to Santa Claus in 2010’s genre-bender Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale. Helander’s latest, Sisu, sees the filmmaker reteaming with some familiar Rare Exports faces for another crowd-pleasing genre-bender, this time an R-rated journey through Lapland near the end of World War II. The period action adventure goes hard on hyper-violence and

From director Devanny Pinn, the true crime thriller Black Mass has set its market screening on May 21, 2023 at 6:15pm in the Palais des Festival (Palais J) as part of the Marché du Film during the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France, Bloody Disgusting has learned.

William Sleator’s eerie dystopian 1974 YA sci-fi novel House of Stairs is getting an adaptation. Before I Wake and Doctor Sleep actor Jacob Tremblay will star, Variety reports. Wi Ding Ho (Terrorizers) will direct. Taking place in the near future, the dystopian genre film “follows five 16-year-old orphans who wake up to find themselves in

With a long and successful career spanning genres, Mia Farrow may not be considered a horror icon, but she’s certainly deserving of the title in terms of quality over quantity. The two genre efforts in which she starred are exemplary horror movies of their respective eras; while Rosemary’s Baby has been widely lauded since its

Growing up as an immigrant in a non-English-speaking household, subtitled movies were pretty standard for me. In fact, I still have the bad habit of turning on subtitles whenever they’re available, regardless of language. As a young man, it never occurred to me that this wasn’t the norm, and that’s why I always thought it

David Gordon Green‘s The Exorcist relaunch is set to be a legacy follow-up to the original classic, and the official title was announced at CinemaCon tonight – The Exorcist: Believer.

Another Panic Fest winds down, bringing a hybrid model that offered in-person screenings and virtual premieres including early screenings of Evil Dead Rise and Sisu.

And it’s one of SEVEN new horror movies releasing this week… Here’s all the new horror releasing April 25 – April

Before the days of in-depth single-player campaigns and cinematic storytelling, nearly every videogame shared the same basic premise: survive as long as you can. From Pong to Missile Command, most early gaming experiences weren’t about concluding story-arcs or even defeating a final boss, they simply tasked players with trying their best at a certain task

Well, you had to wonder just when we’d see a Funko Pop video game, and now we have one. 10:10 Games, in collaboration with Funko, LLC and Universal Games and Digital Platform have announced Funko Fusion, a “wild” new take on action adventure games featuring iconic characters from several media properties, including Jurassic World, The

Ten years ago, the characters in Fede Alvarez’s Evil Dead were cleverly given first names that allowed the first letters of each of their names to spell out DEMON – David, Eric, Mia, Olivia, Natalie – and Lee Cronin’s Evil Dead Rise has similarly hidden some Easter Eggs within the characters’ names. Every character in

With roots in real-life murders, “The Hook” urban legend goes hand-in-hand — or should I say hand-in-hook? — with the slasher genre. After being referenced in ’80s slashers He Knows You’re Alone and Final Exam, it went on to at least partially inspire five slashers from the ’90s: Candyman, I Know What You Did Last

Get in line, because Cocaine Bear has made its way to Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital following a successful theatrical run.

For most horror franchises, a decent fifth film seems to be harder to find than a Necronomicon and usually about as dumb as the guy who’d read it out loud. According to those who have seen Evil Dead Rise (now playing in theaters!), however, it looks like the franchise is now home to the rare fifth

Bloody Disgusting’s Evil Dead Rise review is spoiler-free. A lakeside cabin opening sequence in Evil Dead Rise, written and directed by Lee Cronin (The Hole in the Ground), operates as a declaration that the latest installment of this franchise will fit snugly within the world of Evil Dead while branching out into new terrain and ideas. That means a

Two years ago, Safe Room Podcast began with a discussion about the Resident Evil series for its 25th anniversary.

There’s no franchise like the Evil Dead franchise. Four quality entries (plus a TV series, which we’re not covering in this particular article) that each, in their own way, have managed to push the boundaries of originality, black comedy, fear and fun. Not to mention buckets, troths and otherwise gnarly amounts of blood and gore. That’s the

Now playing in theaters, Universal’s Renfield uses the original Universal Monsters classic Dracula (1931) as the jumping off point for a brand new adventure, dissecting the not-quite-healthy relationship between Dracula and his loyal servant, R.M.
